New Ceramics Program Takes Off

We are happy to announce that our new ceramics program at DKJA is up and running!

Working in clay is beneficial to students of all ages, improving fine motor skills, supporting sensory development, personalized learning, self esteem, self expression, and problem solving skills. Clay also has been well documented as having a calming and therapeutic effect on both children and adults.

All 9th graders taking art will have a semester of ceramics, and all high school art students have access to the ceramics studio for independent projects.

In addition, students will participate in creating a ceramic piece as part of a school-wide permanent art installation in the Cypress Preserve.

We are looking for parent volunteers to be a part of our ceramics program! Please reach out to Allie Hasson if you are interested in spending a few hours a week helping out in our amazing new studio!
